At left is an 'armadillo' .Outraged residents have launched a petition challenging council plans to transform their main road into an active travel route.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said the plans were intended to make a wide range of improvements to the area’s transport network. A spokesperson for the council said: “A survey conducted as part of the public consultation indicated that walking, cycling, and public transport are the preferred means of transport in the local community and we are very hopeful the forthcoming changes will be positively received in the area.”
People who live in the area agreed the road was derelict and in need of repairs, but said a lot of the damage had happened after bike lanes were widened over the pandemic."Damage is happening to the curbs, pavements, and grass verges because large vehicles, buses and trucks are bumping off of them to avoid the armadillos segregating the cycle lane."Councillor Dempsey added:"The existing cycle lane on Wallacewell Road is never used - it's filthy with litter and leaves.
